[quote=Anonymous]For those of you whose grocery bill only went up under 20 a week, how is that possible? Do your au pairs not eat with you much? A couple servings of protein costs more than that, let alone a week's worth. For example, we now have to buy two rotisserie chickens instead of one, and that is the cheapest protein option that I can think of beyond eggs and beans. We had a beeflover from Argentina who was visibly crankier on days without meat during the height of the covid when beef prices skyrocketed. Our food bill went through the roof then and I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little relieved when her stint was done. Not saying I didn't appreciate having her around for help; on the contrary I am saying the higher food costs are worth it I guess but for me it sure wasn't under $50/week. [/quote]
